Ok, been having CoH freeze on me. Sometimes it does it within a few seconds of the game starting up, sometimes it gives me a half hour of play, usually it lasts about 10-20 minutes. The screen get's a sort of pixilated look and sometimes crashes to blue screen of death but usually just locks up.
So far I've gone to nvidia and made sure my drivers are up to date, ran a disk check, disk cleanup and defrag. Lowered the graphics setting to 'performance' and still having issues.
I thought it was a graphics card overheat but I pulled the case open and set a house fan blowing on it. Still no joy.
